For more than two decades, John Cuneen has lived and breathed domestic air cargo. What started as a part-time job loading freight onto overnight planes turned into a lifelong fascination with how goods move across a country in a matter of hours — and how to make that process smoother, cheaper, and more reliable.
John spent years working the operational side of the business: coordinating tight connection windows between regional hubs, troubleshooting weather delays that threatened time-sensitive shipments, and figuring out why a pallet that should have arrived in Memphis somehow ended up in Denver. That hands-on background gave him something you can’t pick up from a textbook — an instinct for how domestic freight actually behaves once it leaves the warehouse.
These days, John channels that experience into Cuvitt.com. He writes about the things he wishes someone had explained to him early on: how to read shipping rates without getting burned, how to choose between next-day and deferred service, how dimensional weight quietly inflates your costs, and how to keep your supply chain moving when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
John’s approach is refreshingly practical. He skips the jargon when he can, explains it plainly when he can’t, and always circles back to the question that matters most: what does this mean for the person actually trying to ship something? Whether you’re a small business owner sending products to customers across state lines or a logistics manager juggling dozens of daily shipments, John writes for you.
When he’s not breaking down freight forwarding or comparing carrier networks, John enjoys tracking the evolution of regional air hubs and watching how new routes reshape the way America moves its goods. He believes domestic air cargo is one of the most underappreciated engines of the economy — and he’s on a mission to make it easier to understand for everyone.
